Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Providing all aspects of plumbing and joinery. All works to be carried out by a fully qualified level 3 plumber and a level 3 joiner with 10+ years experience. Family run business started in 2022 by two cousins who have teamed up to bring two very detailed trades together, plumbing and joinery. We don’t have problems we’ll only ever have solution’s.
Did not turn up in the morning. I had to travel to meet this tradesman as I don’t live in the property. He didn’t bother to let me know he is not coming. After texting him he said “ Am so sorry i didn’t update my diary can i come see you tomorrow morning ?” When I said he is not getting a good feedback then he’s changed the excuse to “daughter unwell”, certainly a lie. I’ve seen his FB business page so he is a bathroom fitter and joiner?!! I think I’ve had a lucky escape. Avoid.
I am a qualified joiner having been in the construction trade over 20 years I ensure best possible customer service. I am quick, reliable and reasonable. I also have many reliable contacts in other trades for other building needs.
Quick response, job done, good work, good quote
Martin Building Ltd Established in 2003 With a large portfolio of previous projects available for you to see yourself, available to view on our website. Regards Carl Martin
Carl and his team did a fantastic job when working on my garage extension and conversion project. It was the first time that I’ve ever done this type of thing but Carl’s communication was spot on from start to finish. He was courteous and communicative throughout and talked me through each day where the project was at and what was next. If I had to appoint a builder again for whatever reason I wouldn’t hesitate in appointing Martin Building Ltd to complete the job. Thanks again Carl!
I'm a friendly, professional & reliable Handyman Service offering my skills and expertise on various jobs. I pride myself on providing excellent service at a competitive price.

Having employed the services of many different tradespeople over the course of the last 50+ years I am totally thankful for choosing TD Services to remove the old and rebuild a large decking area of approx 70sq metres. Dom said it would take three weeks and he was very true to his word. I can honestly say that Dom and Jordan are two of the most methodical, competent, tidy, professional workmen I have ever had the pleasure of contracting to work for me. I would recommend them to everyone without hesitation.
Hi, I have 35 years of experience as a joiner & in the building game, and have run my own company for 25 years doing many jobs around the North-East.
Highly satisfied with Steve's work. Very professional and punctual and also extremely pleasant. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a high class job - 12/10 for going the extra mile.
reactive glazing repairs from a company serving the north east for the last 35 years, no job too small for our experienced glaziers.
Very happy with the work that was completed much quicker than I had expected. Top quality and very friendly service from Brian. I would highly recommend his work to anyone.

G Force Roofing? we specialise in all types of roofs new roofs roof repairs flat roofs UPVC facias soffits and gutters all all work is fully guaranteed?
I had this roof replaced in February and it has failed already. The company I used was via Rated people. Not sure why I used this app again, given my experience, but I did. Gus has replaced this and my other flat roof. He carried out the job promptly and cleared up completely. So far, I think he has done a great job. The leaks have stopped. Assuming the roof doesn't fail again, I would recommend Gus without hesitation. I will return to update my review in a year's time when I hope there will be no problems

Excellent job. Reliable honest tradesman. Prompt response to request for estimate. Gave a detailed price and stuck to it. Turned up on time. Left the place clean and tidy. Reasonable price. First class service I would highly recommend . Thankyou
Good hard working and efficient
Mirror Finish Plastering is a company since 1992. Since serving my time as a qualified plasterer, which i won apprentice of the year in Sunderland in 1991, my business has grown from strength to strength. Owning several houses of my own in the rental market, I also work for many Landlors over the years. Not only do I do my own plastering, I do everything that`s needed to do before the tenant moves in: incl. joinery, electrics and gas (which does require the need of a qualified gas engineer and electrician to sign off the work that I do). I pride myself for my timekeeping and punctuality. Once I start a job, I always stay on it, till it´s complete, before I move onto the next one. But the biggest pride I have is, after 29 years of plastering, I have always had a great response from all my customers and NEVER had a call back. Thanks for reading my review and hope to do business with you in the near future David
Excellent job, 10 out of 10! As a landlady I had few plasterers working for me, David is the best. His work, knowledge (all sorts of building issues) and attitude are more than just professional. To find one person for all of the jobs saves not just money but time and hassle. I will definitely work with him in the future
GNGC specialise in garage conversions on domestic properties throughout the north east.The business was set up and runs alongside JPK Builders based in Sunderland we specialise in brickwork,paving,and repointing.
An absolute pleasure to have them carry out brickwork repairs and reponting of our property. We were updated as to the starting date - promptly commenced at the time designated. , Work has been to a very high standard,and his attention to both mortar and brickwork matching has resulted in an almost new look to the building. Also his consideration to our neighbours during this messy disruption is also worthy of note. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering similar work. .
Good work, thanks john
